Fellowship member Amanda Jones talks about building safe communities for trans kids and everyone else. Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Guests and visitors are always welcome at our liberal, progressive Fellowship. (And we’re done by noon.)

Amanda Jones is a student of mindfulness and meditation, as taught by Thích Nhất Hahn and Plum Village. She’s one of the leaders of Buddhist studies and meditation at our Fellowship. Amanda also has more than 30 years’ experience in service-based roles—with Big Brother and Big sisters and in churches as a youth director, a small-group leader and a worship team leader. She and Amos have nine children ranging from age 10 to adult.

Sunday services feature a speaker—either a member of the Fellowship or a guest. We usually focus on the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism, but our interests are wide-ranging. Services also include music, readings, meditation and opportunities, always optional, to share your own thoughts.

Our Fellowship is radically non-denominational. We do have beliefs, as individuals, but we don’t share a creed. Our members subscribe to a range of religious, philosophical and ethical traditions. And some members resist labels. What ties us together are commitments to human rights and care for the planet. Our unofficial motto: “deeds before creeds.”
